An Introduction to Active Learning Strategies

Extensive research has shown that active learning strategies are generally more effective than traditional lecture in promoting a variety of desirable educational outcomes, such as increased student learning and retention in STEM programs. This book describes the evidence that supports the use of active-learning strategies in education, as well as strategies for incorporating active learning into curricula in the classroom and during practice experiences. The book presents a wide range of teaching strategies that engage students as active participants in their learning with their instructor during class time.
